Canada has reopened its High Commission in Lusaka after more than 15 years of managing diplomatic relations with Zambia through its mission in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
The mission will be led by Corry Van Gaal, an international affairs professional with more than 20 years of experience.
Her career includes senior roles at Global Affairs Canada, work with the World Bank’s Global Agriculture and Food Security Program, and assignments across Africa and South America.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mulambo Haimbe says the reopening signals renewed partnership between the two countries.
He highlighted Canadian companies’ mining assets in Zambia, valued at more than US$12.9 billion, and bilateral trade worth US$97 million in 2025.- Muvi TV
